TOOTHILL GEORGE CHINTONC rw? 562 To the Class of Iune 1953: A combination of sacrifice and effort has brought you to the goal of your present ambition-the completion of four years of high school. This task and the road to success have not been easy, as evidenced by the fact that today's graduating class is but a minority of those who entered high school with you. You are to be commended for having persisted and de- veloped your natural ability. We are mindful of the story of a humble scientist who toiled most of his long life in the fields studying the ways and habits of birds and insects. At the age of 80 he laboriously wrote his findings for the benefit of mankind. At the age of 90 he was apprised of the plan by his countrymen to erect a statue in his honor. Very well,', he said, HI shall see myself. But shall I recognize myself? I've had so little time to look at myself. When he was asked what inscription he wished on the statue he replied in one word, Labor!v Try this scientist's formula for living and you will not fail. Our city and community need many things today-good homes, schools, and upright, loyal citizens. With it all, however, there is a need for enlightenment and skill on the part of our students and graduates. If they are well informed and guided by a knowledge of the truth and sound conviction, if they have the ability to contribute to the progress of society, then the sacrifices and encouragement of parents, and the interest and service of teachers, will bring many beneficial results. just one split beam, a careless disregard of the welfare of others, or the neglect of oneis duty can undermine the strength andlsoundnessrof an entire structure. Apply well and consistently, then, the principles and skills you have learned. We hope the years ahead will be as pleasant and profitable as those in school. May deserved success be yours!

You have worked hard and long to reach this milestone. For you, however, there is still much effort, thought and study ahead before you attain the best results in your life and work.

As your shop instructor for six pleasant terms, I wish you success as a useful and happy citizen in this, our great God-fearing and democratic Country. S. Chairman, Building Construction Dept.

Here, we learn to work with something that can't be seen, heard, or even really felt if used and treated respect- fully. We know that it exists, for we study and have learned how to use it. We have sometimes accidentally mishandled it, and have learned even from our mistakes. Yet we still can't tell you what it is, although if you were to come to work with us in our shop you would learn about it as we have. In this build- ing alone we do jobs of all kinds using this un- known power, and some day, perhaps, we can take some of the mystery out of the mys- terious. We can tell you what it does and what we can make it do. It lights your homes with the touch of a switch. It heats your houses and cooks your food. When you want to travel it carries you as a magic carpet would. Its power makes it possible to bring you the benefits of radio and television. Using it you can play at being magicians, for we can make doors and windows open and close automatically using hidden relays and switches. In the morning it wakes you up, starts your coffee and burns the toast. At night the proprietor leaves his shop secure in the knowledge that an electri- cal watchdog lies waiting there. This was our shop choice when we came to Chelsea. VVe never had to ask ourselves the reason, It might have been because of the in- structors, but it wasnit entirely that. It might have been for the job opportunities, but it wasn't entirely that either. NVe were proud to learn a trade that does so much for so many. NVn.i.1AM Sc:runMEn Itls difficult to say what a machinist does. He may make the machine that makes a product. He may operate the machine that makes the product. He may make the die that stamps out the parts for a thousand machines and the only time he may see the product is when he buys it in a store for his own use. A good machinist must be prepared to make almost anything that can be made of metal. Here, in Chelsea, We specialized in bench work because our skill with our hands will determine our future. Of course, machines are impor- tant too, and we learned to use them all. Whatever a good machinist needs to be able to do we have tried to learn it here and we feel we have. HELMUTH SCHNEIDER There is a deafening roar, the sound of gears meshing, then the rhythmic purr of a power packed engine and another Chelsea rebuilt makes its way down the ramp and into the street, ready to roll. Yes, in the Automotive Shop we have customers-some might call them pa- tients, sick engines brought here by anxi- ous owners for treatment by Doctor Weisern and his crew of student internes. Although we donit wear dazzling White medical uniforms We do perform rel- atively the same operations, such as di- agnosis, prescription, and treatment leading to eventual cure. With many of these cures effected through our own patience and know-howf' We are leav- ing Chelsea with a solid background for becoming practicing M.Ds.v-Doctors of Motors.

Radio, itself, is a miracle and any joh con- nected with it, no matter how small, com- mands our reverence. Radio and Television hring the peoples of the world closer to- gether. ln our living room one night last month, the United Nations held a meeting, twenty thousand people gathered to watch a hasehall game, four persons and a modera- tor-all experts in the Held of government- sat down to discuss our problems with us, and a hig man with a heautiful voice read from a hook with old fashioned Words. Here, in our shop at Chelsea we have learned the tech- niques that made this possihle. To us it seems that we are more intimately related to what goes on in our living room than other people, for we are going to he part of this work in the future. lNlA'r'rin-Jw FORLINI MAnKos FnA'rjEsKos 24 This is the Steel Rule Diemaking Shop. Here we consider the problem of Mr. X, a nameless manufacturer with a product to sell. He is proud of his product and, like most manufacturers, he believes that other people will like it too. So, he wants it packaged at- tractively and securely in a folding paper box. For Mr. X we make a hand sample of a folding paper box which we think will do the job, using pencil, rule, scissors, and dividers. Our Mr. X, in this case Mr. Knife, our instruc- tor, inspects it for design, size and accuracy of composition. When we have satisfied him, we make a die. This die is a master stamp with fine cutting and creasing metal edges. When set in the press, this die will produce hundreds or thousands of patterns exactly like the original sample. Glued and set up they become boxes ready to receive the prod- uct of which Mr. X is so proud. So far we have only met Mr. X by proxy through Mr. Knife. After graduation we are going to meet Mr. X in person. We are look- ing forward to the meeting. He has the prod- uct to be packaged, and we have developed in Chelsea the skill to do the job. FRANK ljllv.-XTALE gee! ML Q7 'S' iema ing xQ 25 Did you ever stop to think what a carpenter has to do with a community? When the car- penter comes to a job, there is nothing there but an empty lot. The plot has been laid out and the foundation dug, but the carpenter begins at the foundation and works his way up. The studs go up and the rafters go across -the skeleton is finished. He sheathes the skeleton against wind and weather. He works skillfully because he knows this building adds value and strength to the community. He doesn't leave until the last shingle is placed, and, when he climbs down from the roof, the house is ready for a new addition to the community. This is a job for a man. JOHN CALLAGHAN Mlm wor ing Cadinefnzcffing Zzfzifcbn ondfrucfion When my friend, the carpenter, leaves the job, the house is finished. The work of the cabinet maker is to make that house a place where people can live in contentment. The cabinetmaker is a man of geniality, common sense and vision. He begins his work with a common piece of wood and turns it into a beautiful piece of furniture to be used in the homes to decorate the rooms-to give a touch of warm feeling for the people who live there. His craftsmanship is developed through years of repetition and experience. Furniture is built to be used, but when people buy furniture they have individual tastes. The cabinetmaker tries to please them by understanding their different styles and needs. What would a room be like without furniture that pleased and satisfied? It would be empty. VVe, here in Cabinetmakiug, at Chelsea, are serving our apprenticeship for this fine trade to earn the ability to please the public with our work. ERNEST IJIKIONTE Minfing 'KSAFETY FlPnST,,, MALVVAYS BE CARE- FUL,', WALK, DO NOT RUN.v Perhaps they don't take too much notice of them, but the people who walk through the halls of Chelsea must always be conscious of these signs. In the library, lunch room, auditorium, entrance, stairs, and gymnasium, you see the signs that add their bit to orderly house- keeping. Behind the making of these signs are boys who go to school and attend the special Printing Shop, for just this reason-to print. To print signs? Yes, but that is 11ot all. Most of our knowledge and education comes from printed matter, and, therefore, the printer and what he represents play an important part in our everyday life. AL SCIIILLER ,Sled mfs! Yes, Sheet Metal Shop-this is the place where boys are moulded into men. Here, muscles grow and be- come strong, and minds sharpen, for our work is like a whetstone. In the morning, our shop stands there like a mighty, sleeping giant, with all its machines quiet within its walls. As we begin our dayls work, it slowly starts to waken from its little slumber. lt grunts and groans, rattles and clangs, then springs into action cheered on by many willing hands all working together. All day long the shop is alive with our hustle and activity. NVe bend and cut, iit and fasten. VVhere the work slows down, there you will see our instructor and good friend, Mr. Mion, helping and encouraging in getting the giant to respond. Now, the time has come to pitch in and clean up, for the bedtime of the giant has come. The dismissal bell rings and we leave. Again, the giant sleeps.

It is a joyous occasion for us, the graduates, and we hope that you will share our happiness because we have at last at- tained our goal. To-day will see another cycle in our preparation for life completed. These years at Chelsea have passed all too rapidly. But we all desire that whatever we do or wher- ever we go, Chelsea may have reason to be proud of us. We pass as graduates from here determined to do everything within our power to warrant the feeling of pride that is in the hearts of our parents, the school's faculty and our own. Our successes, great or small, we shall always bear in mind are due in large part to you. It was you who taught us that there is no royal road to learning and that only through diligent labor can we achieve success. Our physical, mental and spiritual growth has been guarded and guided by you. Now that we are beginning to understand more fully and to advance in our shops and studies, it is time to leave the classroom and its apprenticeship to enter the trades for which Chelsea has equipped us. Chelsea has taught us so that we can compete in a competitive world and contribute intelli- gently to our community, city and nation. We cannot but feel a debt of gratitude for the lessons we have learned. We shall leave here with the feeling of being better pre- pared for the problems ahead of us and thankful for the happy memories of our school life. DONALD WYNNE 'lfaiahcfofy Mr. Driscoll, members of the faculty, hon- ored guests, parents, and friends: I am sure that there was a day in the school life of almost every Senior here when he expected to say Farewell', to the school in a much less pleasant manner. One may have failed a subject and been tempted to throw in the sponge, another may have had a temporary disagreement with the laws of the school and felt that the school was down on him, another may have had financial trouble at home that seemed cer- tain to cut short his career at school. Obviously, none of these things hap- pened. We took heart, remembered that one battle doesn't make a war, and went on to pass our subjects. We learned that our teachers wanted only our cooperation, to extricate us from difficulties. We found, sometimes, that our parents' desire to sacrifice for their children is almost in- exhaustible. And so our farewell today is not a hurried thing, or an embittered or regretful thing. VVe feel, perhaps, a touch of sadness at leaving good friends, on the faculty and in the student body. There is a realization, too, as we face the outer world, that school was, to some extent, a shelter, certainly that here we had more good times than bad embedded in our memories. But I do not feel that we shrink from the world of hard work, or military service, or more difficult education that we now enter. It is the test of Chelsea's success that we face the future with confidence. Here we have worked with hand and brain, with the tools of our trade, and, most important of all, with what every man most needs-good companions, co-workers, friends. School is said to be not only a preparation for life, but also life itself. If this is so, we are not mere novices but in- stead are entering another phase of a con- tinuing challenge which we not so much conquer as willingly embrace. It is appro- priate and most agreeable to us that we should emerge from our high school career in these surroundings-our school, so much more pleasant than its outer shell, our schoolmates, to whom we wish continued success, our faculty, whom we can proudly call our good friends, and our parents, to whom we may today bring the measure of happiness they deserve.
